This is a fun and easy project that the whole family can do together.

Start by asking a few questions to get the kids thinking about what they would like to add to the box:

• Where do you think we will live in the future?
• What will you remember about this year?
• What do you like best about your world right now?
• Are there any major events happening in your life this year?
• What do you think that world will be like in the future?

Now have them collect things that they would like to save in the time capsule.

• A 2014 penny
• A recent photograph
• A Christmas or Valentine card they received recently or a birthday invitation

• A newspaper clipping.
• A ticket stub
• Their hand / foot print.

• Their age and grade
• Their teachers name
• Their best friend
• Their favourite food
• What they got for Christmas
• What they plan to do for their birthday this year.
• Their favourite place to be
• Have them draw a picture of how they think they will look in four years.

Tuck the items and letters into your decorated box and tape it up. Hide it in a safe place
